Good lord, there are literally three of these threads from the last 24 hours alone. There IS a working search field on the right side of the thread index.

It costs money to apply for a game classification. Valve isn't going to pay money to apply for a reclassification when the game is several years old; it would be a very poor investment and possibly cost them more than they made back.

they are not going to do it, anyone that wants the game already has it. no money is to be made so its a waste of time. just like this thread

there's dozens and dozens of complaints and threads daily on games since australia changed the laws, saying theres no money and that the government sucks shows your intelligence, all valve needs to do is a SMALL patch for these people to re-enable gore.....

1. Valve is not short on cash 2. Your not geting a new version 3. Blame your government

1. SARCASM

2. The last official response from valve was that "we are aware of the situation"Gutless, completely gutless. If you are NOT going to do something, then flat out come out and say you have no intention on doing it. If that was the case, myself and many others would simply accept the decision.

But there has been no decision.

3. Our government changes those laws, this doesn't rest with them anymore. Did you know when the Germans were forced into the same censorship situation, Valve gave their version of the game access to counterstrike weaponry as way of compensation? Australia, got nothing of the sort.

Well... yes, your Government censored the game at the time of its release, so it is their fault. While it may be NICE of Valve, and good customer service, they have no obligation to try to reclassify a game that is already out.

Should they just admit they aren't going to do it? Probably, but we're talking about a company that doesn't believe in returns. I don't think customer service is at the head of their concerns.

Valve did say in January 2013 that money wasn't an issue and that "we want to do this" (uncensor the game for all Australian players).

They have no obligation to, of course, but communication would help. It's not the government restricting them anymore... we have R18+ rating in effect and many games in Australia have been resubmitted since - by lesser-known companies and companies with definetly less $ than Valve.
